No, I mean regular off-the-shelf domestics, this is Michelob Ultra I'm talking about. I don't recall seeing anything Mich or Bud or Coors 6-point in liquor stores. Maybe, but I don't really shop for beer, so.... when I do, it's something not so mainstream, usually an import or something. About the most mainstream I get is Amber Bock or Killian's Red.

Speaking of the Mich Ultra... I saw they now have a couple of new flavors - Lime Cactus and something else, some peach thing? I love the peach Choc beer at Pete's in Krebs, but I'm not sure about this stuff... as I said, I'm not much of a beer drinker anyways. But I considered buying a sixer to try out with the young lady in the OP whose beer was pilfered. Anyone tried one of these new offerings?

life's too short to drink crap beer

If I'm understanding this correctly:
Michelob ultra "TX" is 4.2% alcohol by volume. Grocery store beer (3.2 beer) is about 4% by VOLUME (3.2% by WEIGHT).
Is 0.2% difference in alcohol content really a big deal?

MMMM GMO Beer

I don't know... I've drank one. I was under the assumption TX beer was 6%.

Jeez... some of ya'll have no sense of humor.

<edit> According to that link, all the varieties of beer are that strength everywhere? I don't see anything that accounts for differing laws in different states. I have always been told they special-brew lower and higher-alcohol beers to meet differing state laws. According to that chart, if it is the same everywhere, Amber Bock ought to be illegal in Oklahoma outside of liquor stores, since it is too high in alcohol concentration. Murphy's Red, too, which I know I have bought at WalMart.

So what gives with that link?

 

[badrinker]

The link only refers to "full strength" beer (i.e. TX beer).
There was a paragraph elsewhere (that is alluded to above the chart when it says: "a beer that is 4.0% by volume is about 3.2% by weight") regarding 3.2% beer sold in KS, CO, OK, UT etc.

Many breweries make 2 strengths, the one shown in the chart, and the other legal for sale in groceries stores in the above mentioned states.

I'm not sure how I would feel if my son drank my last 2 beers. For all 9 years of his life, he has never drank my beers. I kinda thought it would always stay that way too.

Uh, it won't.

Speaking from experience, if you keep beer around, he's probably going to spend more of his life drinking your beers than he did not drinking your beers. At least if he lives to around the ripe old age of 35.

Michelob Ultra? Hell, I'd give her that piss water so I wouldn't have to drink it.
